Radio Properties of Cavities in the ICM: Imprints of AGN Activity
L. Birzan, B. R. McNamara, C. L. Carilli +2
We present new, high resolution radio images of sources associated with cD galaxies and X-ray cavity systems located in cluster cores. The cavity properties derived from archival C…
AGN Heating through Cavities and Shocks
P. E. J. Nulsen, C. Jones, W. R. Forman +5
Three comments are made on AGN heating of cooling flows. A simple physical argument is used to show that the enthalpy of a buoyant radio lobe is converted to heat in its wake. Thus…
The Starburst in the Abell 1835 Cluster Central Galaxy: A Case Study of Galaxy Formation Regulated by an Outburst from a Supermassive Black Hole
B. R. McNamara, D. A. Rafferty, L. Birzan +6
We present an optical, X-ray, and radio analysis of the starburst in the Abell 1835 cluster's central cD galaxy. The dense gas surrounding the galaxy is radiating X-rays with a lum…
